Delfi Launches Optimal Duration Index (ODIN): A New Compass for Lending Decisions

Delfi, the AI-native risk management platform for financial institutions, has introduced the Optimal Duration Index (ODIN), a benchmark designed to bring clarity to loan origination decisions in today’s uncertain interest rate environment.

ODIN is powered by Delfi’s Overwatch analytics engine, which runs high-fidelity simulations of financial institutions’ balance sheets to pinpoint the loan portfolio duration that maximizes profitability. The inaugural reading indicates that a six-year horizon best balances risk and return under current market conditions. 

“Loan origination is one of the most consequential decisions a financial institution makes, but too often it relies on intuition rather than analysis,” said Daniel Ahn, co-founder and CEO of Delfi, and a former banker and senior advisor to the Federal Reserve. “ODIN offers a quantitative North Star at a time when markets are clouded by uncertainty. It cuts through the noise and gives loan officers and asset-liability committees a practical guide to make smarter lending decisions.”
